326 cxxxv. EUPHORBiACEJ}. (J. D. Hooker.) [Glocltidion. 



A small tree ; branchlets slender, flexuous, angled. Leaves dark brown when dry, 

 hardly coriaceous ; nerves 4-5 pair, hardly raised beneath; petiole T \j-f in. ; stipules 

 small, ciliate. Male pedicels ^ in., and linear sepals hispid ; connectives nearly as 

 long as the anthers. Fern, calyx tubular at the base. 



VAE. j8., Thwaites I. c. ; leaves narrower and longer elliptic-lanceolate finely 

 acuminate very pale brown when dry, nerves 6-8 pair, fern. fl. sometimes pedicelled 

 sparsely hispid or glabrous. Reigam Corle, Thwaites. This looks very different, but 

 I expect Thwaites is right in regarding it as a variety. 



54. Cr. coronatum, Hook. f. ; branches hirsutely tomentose, leaves 

 3-5 in. subsessile membranous elliptic-oblong acuminate sparsely hirsute 

 beneath, male fl. minute pedicelled hispid, stamens 3, connectives umbonate, 

 fern. fl. few sessile in dense axillary clusters, ovary villous, style slender 

 cylindric 2-3 times as long as the lanceolate acute tomentose sepals acutely 

 3-cleft glabrous above, capsule subsessile 3-6-lobed hoary-tomentose.

A shrub (in Perak 8-12 ft.) ; branches slender. Leaves equal or unequal at the 

 base, dull grey on both surfaces, nerves slender; petiole not -^ in. Capsule | in. 

 diam., depressed, top sunk, style deciduous. 



55. Cr. villicaule, Hook. f. ; branchlets hirsutely tomentose with 

 spreading rusty hairs, leaves 3-5 in. thin ovate elliptic or oblong obtuse 

 acute or acuminate softly hairy and strongly reticulately nerved beneath, 

 male fl. few, pedicels and lanceolate sepals hispid, anthers 3-5 large, fern. fl. 

 minute sessile, ovary pubescent 3-4-celled, style much longer than the 

 perianth subcylindric hispid subacutely 2-3-toothed, capsule subsessile 

 depressed 6-8-lobed densely hirsute, style as long columnar acutely toothed 

 deciduous. 



UPPER BURMA; towards the silver mines, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4842). 

 PERAK, Scortechini. DISTRIB. Yunan. 



Branchlets flexuous, hairs rufous. Leaves very variable in size and shape, brown 

 when dry, sometimes only 1 in. and very broadly elliptic, base subequal, acute, 

 rounded or subcordate ; nerves 6-10 pair, strong, as are the cross-nervules ; petiole 

 very short, villous ; stipules subulate. Male fl. shortly hispidly pedicelled ; anthers 

 half as long as the sepals, connectives large free. Fern. fl. inconspicuous ; sepals 

 narrow ; style rather slender, a little swollen above the middle and narrowed to the 

 top. Capsule \ in. diam., not deeply lobed, top hardly depressed, style usually leaving 

 a minute rustily hairy base. The specimens are not very good.

56. Cr. sericeum, Hook. f. branchlets leaves beneath and flowers 

 pubescent, leaves 2-3 in. liu ear-oblong obtuse base rounded or cordate 

 puberulous above glaucous beneath, flowers all pedicelled, male sepals 6 outer 

 spreading, anthers 3, fern, sepals 2-3, ovary globose villous 3-celled, styles 

 3 slender villous tips 2-fid, capsule depressed 3-lobed densely villous.
